plant growth?

what were the measurements you used for each component?
whats the bottle size?
what kind of water did you use, hot/cold/room temp??
check that theres no gas seeping through the hole you made at the caps

for the stone you can use a regular stone but if you want try a wooden, with it you will get a finer mist of bubbles. You can place under your filter or your filters intake.

edit: how long of a tubing did you use?
What level are you keeping the bottle compared to the airstone?

my bottle size is a 2 liter
room temp/cold
no holes
the tubing is about 1 foot
the stone is at equalized level as the cap

1.5 teaspoon of yeast
2 cups of sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda

what about the mixture of the sugar/water/yeast??

try to gently squeeze the bottle and see if any bubbling occurs. At times you might have to wait a bit longer for the yeast to activate. If within 24 hrs you dont even get one bubble, spill the mix and try again

edit: okay you posted the measurements before i posted lol

well still go by what i said above ^^

and for yeast start out small like 1/4 or 1/2 of a teaspoon

read the link again i am sure it says to use warm water to get the active yeast going.

that could be the problem but still 4hrs wouldnt the temperature of the mix be at room temperature by now?!

 

[Mgamer20o0]

no. plus never said what temp room temp. lower the temp less co2 too.

i have two yeast:

rapidrise
and
active dry

i used the active dry one

does it matter?

unless its 50 degrees in his house, he should still get atleast one bubble, be it one a minute or one per hour. hes not getting any

. However, in the process of rehydration, some cell constituents are dissolved in the water used. The optimum water temperature for cell membrane restoration is 104º F. Warm water is effective in this process, because it leads to more rapid cell membrane recovery. Cold water impedes this process, because it slows membrane recovery and allows more cell constituents to leach out during the reconstitution process. The effect is not that great between 70º and 100º F, but at lower temperatures approximately one-quarter to one-half of soluble yeast cell constituents can be lost.

there has to be a reason why everyone says use warm water vs cold water....

you win lol :lipssealedsmilie:

Shadow use warm but not hot water when you hydrate the yeast.
